One advert

[Grifter]

Don't think anyone else is interested so I just stuck an ad up myself. Took about 10 minutes to be accepted and just for a giggle I sent to my home gym home page which has no relevance to Dear John at all. Still got a quality score of 5/10 and ad enabled. Surprising really how litte competition there is for this. Even in google.com only 1/2 advertisers and 246k searches for dear john film and 368k for d... j... trailer

Here's my ad at 1p per clickthrough lol

I rarely advertise but in the past the best response i ever had was through radio advertising - but over the course of a month not a single advert - no matter where IMO a single one off advert will be the same as flushing the money down the toilet.

One of the best methods is social networking.

I don't really mean just creating a page on FB or MySpace (is that still going now?) I mean creating your own. There are a few free social network sites out there where you can create your own community and then market your own products directly to that interested community.

You just create the network, and then start inviting people, posting links to that site in places where potential customers would be. I'd suggest festival forums, music forums, teens and so on.

You could have articles, guides, how to's and offer special deals just to that community. As long as it's informative and active, it'll take off on its own.

I had a good friend start an adult community a couple of months ago, and we both promote the others site. Within two months he has almost 300 members.
He allows me to market to his members and I market the group to my site visitors. The interaction between the two is fantastic and I get probably 10% of all my sales through his network.
